Admiral Kutzov
Idiot Emeritus
All was quiet on the eastern front, when suddenly, 2 mysterious forms
emerged from the foggy jungle in pursuit of a lone archer from Khmer.
I dispatched an illustrator to obtain images of these barbarians.
Like any true barbarian, they dispatched then ate my illustrator. (Turn 124).
The panic stricken Khmer, led the barb archer on a bee-line towards Paris.
Other barb, the warrior, swing south towards our iron.
I check our treasury and there's not nearly enough to promote a warrior
so I drop science to zero. The chariot gets whipped to completion since barb
warrior is about to plunder the iron. (125)
That wandering khmer archer? He's 180 degrees off course. Sury lives
on the northern coast. His people apparently got sick of living in frozed
tundra and are moving SW.
Our chariot riders flawlessly end the life of the plundering barb warrior on
at the entrance to our iron mine, saving the lives of countless miners. (126)
The marauding archer pillages our banana farm. Paris resumes building the
'mids. Chariot runs to Paris to assist with further barb control (127)
Mansu is quite rude and demands math. I fart in his general direction. (128)
I promote the chariot to combat and attack the barb archer on our hores at odds
of 4.18 to 3.00. The chariot fails to even dinge the archer and the horses get
pillaged. I upgade a warrior to ax. The library in orleans get whipped (129)
The axe kills the barb archer. Orleans starts an ax as there are 2 more barb warrior
incoming on the same path as the first two. I interrupt the library builds and
start some axes as Mansu has iron, is mad at us for not caving and the barbs are
sprouting. (130)
I flawlessly allow the iron mine to get pillaged.
Not much until 134 when I play whack a barb and whip the 'mids.
Our illustrators kept dying in barbarian raids and were not able to produce usable pictures (somehow, I can't figure out how to hit print screen at the right time). Our cartographer did a little better.
Oh, BTW, I picked MC for the new tech.
On the plus side, cottages are up and we have a road network to fight off the barbs.
Not a good set, but don't think I've done anything we can't bounce back from.

Ok, couple of things.
- pay attention to plans for cities and don't panic when barbs attack
), but I'd still like to keep it in the mix for consideration. It's handy for a non-Expansionist leader, and a nice source of Great Engineer points. Obviously Industrious leader and access to Stone make it a cheap build. o.t.o.h. it seems we've got a good chance at having a monopoly on Mathematics, so it's 'deferrable'.
to unit builds out of Rheims seems like a pretty decent trade off for a turn of anarchy and 1
per turn in civic upkeep. Refer;
. I agree with you that we should also grab Cow-Rice to our north west soon in addition to Marble-Bananas blocker in the north east.
I was thinking policy state = 1 anarchy and then to rep = 1 anarchy. But as we would revolt to rep in any case, we can naturally minus the other anarchy
